  • Click here for a Cannes International Film Festival report (attributed to Screen International) stating that Echo Bridge has invested $36 million in Raoul Ruiz’s film Love and Virtue that will star Damian Lewis.
  • This review of The Situation starring Damian Lewis says:
    “…Director Philip Haas has crafted a seamless look at a world most of us will never know. Haas brings the audience as close to the action as possible. The camera is always another guest at a dinner table or conversation, and never runs away from gunfire or explosions that inundate many of the film’s scenes. The Situation is presented in a way that neither criticizes nor excuses what is happening and who is involved, but makes the audience decide for themselves how they feel.”

  • CanWest Media Works will broadcast Life starring Damian Lewis in Canada this fall! :arrow:
    According to Barbara Williams, CanWest’s senior vice president of programming, “…Wednesday at 10 is Life (starring Damian Lewis from Band of Brothers), and that may be the one. It’s a great, strong detective show, and it delivers on that front, but it looks and sounds so different, with a quiet intensity to it. It has a great procedural strength, but it also has a couple of big arcs to the whole story that I think are fascinating.”

  • Updates for The Situation:

    » A representative of Shadow Distribution sent thanks to the members of the Damian Lewis Yahoo! Group for their “continuing interest and support for The Situation starring Damian Lewis.” He confirmed that the film is opening in North Carolina this week “at the Carolina Theater in Durham on Friday and at Thalian Hall in Wilmington on Monday.”

    » The Situation will also open in Vancouver, Canada on Monday at the Vancity Theatre.

    » Cover art for the Region 1 (US and Canada) DVD is now available; it will be released in the US on July 31st.
